Navigating OSHA's New PPE Fit Requirements
This white paper explains OSHA's updated construction PPE requirements, which mandate that personal protective equipment must properly fit every worker to improve safety, inclusivity, and regulatory compliance. It examines the risks of ill-fitting PPE, outlines the implications for employers, and discusses best practices for selecting, fitting, and maintaining protective equipment. The paper also reviews fit considerations across fall protection, respiratory, hand, hearing, foot, head, and eye protection, demonstrating how properly fitted PPE improves worker comfort, increases compliance, reduces injuries, and enhances overall workplace safety.
